Bulls fall out of playoff spot with last second loss to Kings – WSJM Morning Sports

NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Sacramento Kings 117, Chicago Bulls 114 Kings 117, Bulls 114 – De’Aaron Fox hits 3 at buzzer, Kings beat Bulls 117-114 De’Aaron Fox hit a 3-pointer with 0.7 seconds left to give the Sacramento Kings a 117-114 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. Fox scored 32 points on 12-for-17 shooting, hitting four 3-pointers. Domantas Sabonis had his second straight triple-double and 11th of the season — finishing with 14 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists — and Sacramento roared back in the second half with hot 3-point shooting. Malik Monk had 19 points, going 5 for 8 on 3s as the Kings overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to win for the fourth time in five and improve to 9-2 in their last 11. DeMar DeRozan led Chicago with 33 points. Tonight Denver Nuggets at Detroit Pistons, 7:00 p.m. Indiana Pacers at Milwaukee Bucks, 8:00 p.m. NBA – NBA suspends Ja Morant 8 games for video showing gun in club The NBA has suspended Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant eight games without pay after determining that his holding a firearm at a club in suburban Denver earlier this month was “conduct detrimental to the league.” Morant will miss his sixth game when the Grizzlies play in Miami on Wednesday night. He will miss the next two games and be eligible to return on Monday when Memphis plays Dallas. The games he already missed will count toward the suspension. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver met with Morant in New York before announcing the league’s decision. He called Morant’s conduct “irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous.” NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Last Night NCAA First Four – UD Arena, Dayton, OH 16 Fairleigh Dickinson 84, 16 Texas Southern 61 East Region 11 Arizona State 98, 11 Nevada 73 West Region Today NCAA Tournament First Round 9 West Virginia vs. 8 Maryland, 12:15 p.m. South Region 13 Furman vs. 4 Virginia, 12:40 p.m. South Region 10 Utah State vs. 7 Missouri, 1:40 p.m. South Region 16 Howard vs. 1 Kansas, 2:00 p.m. West Region 16 Texas A&M Corpus Christi vs. 1 Alabama, 2:45 p.m. South Region 12 Charleston vs. 5 San Diego State, 3:10 p.m. South Region 15 Princeton vs. 2 Arizona, 4:10 p.m. South Region 9 Illinois vs. 8 Arkansas, 4:30 p.m. West Region 9 Auburn vs. 8 Iowa, 6:50 p.m. Midwest Region 12 Oral Roberts vs. 5 Duke, 7:10 p.m. East Region 15 Colgate vs. 2 Texas, 7:25 p.m. Midwest Region 10 Boise State vs. 7 Northwestern, 7:35 p.m. West Region 16 Northern Kentucky vs. 1 Houston, 9:20 p.m. Midwest Region 13 Louisiana vs. 4 Tennessee, 9:40 p.m. East Region 10 Penn State vs. 7 Texas A&M, 9:55 p.m. Midwest Region 15 UNC-Ashville vs. 2 UCLA, 10:05 p.m. West Region NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Chicago Blackhawks at Nashville Predators, 8:00 p.m. MLB – Major League Baseball – Spring Training Yesterday Chicago White Sox at San Francisco Giants, Cancelled Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds, Cancelled Tigers are off Today Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs, 4:05 p.m. Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Guardians, 4:05 p.m. Philadelphia Phillies at Detroit Tigers, 6:05 p.m. NFL – Rodgers plans to play for Jets in 2023, awaits Packers’ move Aaron Rodgers says he intends to play for the New York Jets in 2023 after 18 seasons in Green Bay.

The 39-year-old said he believes the Packers want to move on and make 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love their starting quarterback. The Jets sent a contingent that reportedly included owner Woody Johnson, coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas to Rodgers’ home in Southern California last week. Rodgers has been the face of the franchise since Hall of Famer Brett Favre was traded to the Jets in 2008. NFL – Lions re-sign Cominsky to add to busy free agency week The Detroit Lions took another step in shaping their roster during an active week in free agency, re-signing defensive end John Cominsky to a two-year deal. Detroit announced the move Wednesday. The Lions kicked off the week by filling perhaps their biggest need, agreeing to a $33 million, three-year contract with cornerback Cameron Sutton. Detroit decided David Montgomery will join D’Andre Swift in the backfield, choosing to sign the former Chicago Bear to an $18 million, three-year deal instead of re-signing Jamaal Williams after his career year.

The Pistons, who hadn’t won since beating San Antonio 138-131 in double overtime on Feb. 10, led by 31 points in the first half and held off an Indiana surge late in the second quarter and early in the third. Cory Joseph led Detroit with 22 points, Jalen Duren put up 12 points and 11 rebounds and Killian Hayes had 10 points and 11 assists. Jordan Nwora had 20 points off the bench for Indiana.

The Lions and Sutton agreed to a three-year contract worth $33 million with $22.5 million guaranteed, agent David Canter told The Associated Press on Monday. Detroit also agreed to a $18.75 million, three-year deal with linebacker Alex Anzalone, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced. The Lions also kicked off the week tendering exclusive rights free agents: tight ends Shane Zylstra and Brock Wright, linebacker Anthony Pittman, defensive lineman Benito Jones and long snapper Scott Daly. NFL – Bears get lift at LB, add Edmunds, Edwards The Chicago Bears made two big additions at linebacker, agreeing to contracts with Buffalo Bills two-time Pro Bowler Tremaine Edmunds and former Philadelphia Eagle T.J. Edwards, two people familiar with the situations said Monday. Edmunds’ deal is worth $72 million over four years with $50 million guaranteed. Edwards is due $19.5 million over three years, with $12 million guaranteed. The Bears also added to their offensive line, agreeing to a three-year, $30 million contract with Tennessee guard Nate Davis, a person familiar with the situation said. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the agreements can’t be announced until the new league year opens on Wednesday. The Bears agreed Friday to trade the No. 1 overall pick in the draft to Carolina, two people familiar with the deal said. Chicago addressed a big need for a playmaker to help quarterback Justin Fields by acquiring star receiver D.J. Moore from the Panthers along with the No. 9 and No. 61 overall picks in 2023, a first-rounder in 2024 and a second-rounder in 2025.

Sam Darnold is heading West to replace Garoppolo on the San Francisco 49ers’ roster. Mike White, Case Keenum and Jarrett Stidham have new teams, too. And Deshaun Watson is staying in Cleveland, but with a restructured deal with the Browns. Quarterbacks took front and center on Monday as the NFL free agency began with teams allowed to negotiate — and agree to deals — with unrestricted free agents. NFL – NFL will consider reviewing roughing-the-passer penalties The NFL’s competition committee will consider making roughing-the-passer penalties and personal-foul penalties subject to video review. The two potential rule changes were among nine the league announced Monday in its 2023 playing rules, bylaw and resolution proposals submitted by clubs. The Los Angeles Rams proposed the change that would allow teams to challenge roughing-the-passer calls. The Detroit Lions proposed the giving teams an opportunity to challenge personal foul calls. The competition committee will consider the rule changes later this month when NFL owners gather in Arizona for their annual meeting. NCAAWBKB – Michigan State women’s hoops coach Suzy Merchant steps down Suzy Merchant has stepped down as Michigan State’s women’s basketball coach, citing health concerns. The 53-year-old Merchant had not coached the Spartans since she was in a one-car crash after a medical incident in late January. Six seasons ago, she fainted and collapsed onto the court during a game and doctors later discovered she had a heart abnormality. She announced she was stepping down on Monday. Associate head coach Dean Lockwood filled in for Merchant this season and will serve as the team’s interim coach while the school searches for a new leader for the program.

Played there until 1966. Started coaching there in 1969. Took over the program as head coach in 1976. Put simply, he was Syracuse basketball. Until now. The Basketball Hall of Famer’s 47-year tenure as coach at Syracuse came to an awkward end on Wednesday, with the university saying Orange associate head coach and former Syracuse player Adrian Autry has been promoted to the job. The Orange moved quickly, making the announcement less than three hours after Syracuse lost to Wake Forest in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.

Short handed Pistons fall just short against Portland – WSJM Morning Sports

NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Portland Trailblazers 110, Detroit Pistons 104 Philadelphia 76ers 147, Indiana Pacers 143 Blazers 110, Pistons 104 – Lillard’s triple-double helps Blazers beat Pistons 110-104 Damian Lillard had 31 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, securing his second triple-double of the season before the end of the third quarter, and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Detroit Pistons 110-104. The dynamic guard scored 16 points in the first quarter to give the Trail Blazers a 31-18 lead, and they had little trouble keeping a comfortable margin against a banged-up and slumping team for most of the night. Detroit pulled within six points with 1:39 left to fire up the previously quiet fans, and Jerami Grant quieted them with a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession. Grant finished with 26 points against his former team. Former Kalamazoo Central and University of Michigan player Isaiah Livers matched a career high with 17 points for the Pistons, who have lost a season-high eight straight games. The Pistons were without injured starters Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Stewart and rookie center Jalen Duran, along with key reserve Killian Hayes. Sixers 147, Pacers 143 – Embiid scores 42, Sixers beat Pacers 147-143 without much D Joel Embiid scored 42 points, James Harden added 14 points, 20 assists and nine rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers pulled away late for a 147-143 victory over the Indiana Pacers in a game virtually devoid of defense. Embiid made 11 of 16 field goals and all 19 free-throw attempts. Tyrese Maxey scored 24 points and Jalen McDaniels added 20 for the 76ers, who have won two straight. Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 40 points and 16 assists. Neither team led by more than six points through the first three quarters. The Sixers finally took control with a late 10-0 run. Tonight Washington Wizards at Detroit Pistons, 7:00 p.m. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Chicago Blackhawks 5, Ottawa Senators 0 Blackhawks 5, Senators 0 – Seth Jones scores twice as Blackhawks beat Senators 5-0 Seth Jones scored two of Chicago’s three second-period goals, and the Blackhawks stopped Ottawa’s five-game win streak with a 5-0 victory over the Senators. Anders Bjork had three primary assists, and Alex Stalock made 35 saves in his 11th career shutout. Lukas Reichel, Phillipp Kurashev and Jason Dickinson also scored as last-place Chicago snapped a four-game losing streak. Ottawa remained three points back of idle Pittsburgh for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, wasting a prime opportunity to gain ground in the playoff race. MLB – Major League Baseball – Spring Training Yesterday Boston Red Sox 7, Detroit Tigers 1 Chicago Cubs 6, Seattle Mariners 2 White Sox were off Today St. Louis Cardinals at Detroit Tigers, 1:05 p.m. Chicago Cubs at Texas Rangers, 3:05 p.m. Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago White Sox, 3:05 p.m. MLB – Red Sox infielder Justin Turner hit in face by pitch Boston Red Sox infielder Justin Turner needed 16 stitches after he was hit in the face by a pitch during a spring training game against the Detroit Tigers. The 38-year-old Turner fell to the ground after getting drilled by right-hander Matt Manning. Turner’s wife, Kourtney, posted to Instagram that the infielder had “16 stitches and a lot of swelling but we are thanking God for no fractures & clear scans.” MLB – MLB shift limits raising batter spirits and averages so far Major League Baseball’s new limits on infield shifts are raising batter spirits this spring. They might be bosltering batting averages, too. Batting averages across the league are up slightly from last spring training, from .259 to .263. Left-handed hitters seem to be benefitting most, with their collected average up from .255 to .274. Sluggers like the New York Yankees’ Anthony Rizzo are enjoying taking at-bats without a wall of defenders in shallow right field. Rizzo says that "young left-handed hitters will be introduced to the 3-4 hole that’s been gone for about seven to eight years.” NFL – Ex-Raider Derek Carr agrees to 4-year contract with Saints The New Orleans Saints say former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has agreed to a four-year contract. A person familiar with the situation said the deal could be worth up to $150 million. The person spoke to The Associated Press about the contract’s value on condition of anonymity because financial terms were not released. Carr turns 32 this month. He played nine seasons for the Raiders and holds team records for yards and touchdowns passing. Saints coach Dennis Allen was the Raiders’ coach when the team selected Carr in the second round of the 2014 draft. Las Vegas released Carr on Feb. 14 to avoid guaranteeing him $40.4 million of his contract over the next two years.
